Chapter 1299: Yuan Shao is greedy and Cao Cao is off

Yuan Shao smiled disdainfully, and all the ministers in the hall also showed disdain, now that Cao Cao is too busy to take care of himself, Yan Xiang is still alarmist, what substantive content can there be.

"The benefit of Tianda, the official thinks that the benefit of Tianda is that Cao Cao invited himself to go to the wilderness, and at that time, the world will be peaceful and the Haiyan River will be clear! Huh"

Yan Xiang quietly breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately said: "My lord is wrong, if Prime Minister Cao invites himself to go to the wilderness, the world will definitely not be peaceful, and the ambitious Liu Bei can watch the adults become big and sweep the world?" ”

"Ugh"

This sentence is like a precise arrow, accurately hitting the most secret part of Yuan Shao's heart, sweeping the world, it is Yuan Shao's ultimate dream, all those who block this dream will be Yuan Shao's enemies, Cao Cao is, Liu Bei is too!

"You don't need to sow discord here, what does Cao Cao want, come quickly1

"My lord, Prime Minister Cao Cheng sent me to come down to want to make peace with my lord.

"Peace? That's the benefit of Tianda? Haha, it's a great benefit for Cao Cao.1 Yuan Shao stroked his beard and laughed.

"Huh"

Everyone in the hall also laughed together, Yan Xiang was unmoved, smiled at everyone's ridicule and disdain, and waited until Yuan Shao couldn't laugh much, Yan Xiang slowly spoke.

"My lord, Prime Minister Cao Cheng is naturally conditional, don't you want to hear about the conditions that Prime Minister Cao Cheng is going to promise?"

"Condition, can Cao Cao still be able to retreat, but. Now the official doesn't need Cao Cao to retreat, and the official himself will naturally take 1

"My lord, Prime Minister Cao Cheng is not retreating. Instead, the three counties were completely ceded, and the people and the city were given to the jurisdiction of the adults without moving, I don't know if this is a great benefit? ”

"Hahah! What the? Three counties!? ”

"Yes, the three counties, Taishan County, Lu County, and Rencheng County, if Lord Yuan signs an armistice agreement, he will accept the position of Yanzhou pastor appointed by the Son of Heaven. Prime Minister Cao Cheng will completely withdraw from the above three counties, leaving not a single soldier behind, and the border will be fixed forever from now on. Your and Chinese sides will strike and talk about non-aggression against each other. ”

Yan Xiang's words fell, and the hall was silent, Cao Cao's concession was really beyond everyone's expectations, once this agreement was signed. Yuan Shao really took advantage of it. First of all, he got a large area of land and population for nothing, and then he also had enough depth strategically, and it was easier to defend geographically, and more importantly, he also justifiably obtained the position of Yanzhou pastor, and obtained the legitimate right to rule Yanzhou in general righteousness.

It's pie in the sky! Yuan Shao's mind was shaken!

"Lord, if you have nothing to do, you will have a conspiracy1

Xu You twisted his goatee and interjected lightly, and Yan Xiang looked at Xu You with a brushed eye. said with a smile: "The conspiracy can't be talked about, Zi Yue." It's just that I don't understand why Prime Minister Cao Cheng is willing to make such a big concession. ”

"Then why did Cao Cao suddenly become so generous?"

"Without him, Prime Minister Cao Cheng has just planned 1

Now everyone was curious, they didn't expect Cao Cao to admit that he had been tricked, so whose trick was it?

"What do you mean by that?" Yuan Shao was also curious! Who made Cao Cao publicly admit that he had been tricked?

"It's Liu Bei! Liu Bei provoked Han Sui to attack the adults and dragged Prime Minister Cao into the water"

"Wait, wasn't Han Sui's attack on our army Cao Cao's instructions? Why did it become Liu Bei's instigation? ”

"Don't you think this is strange, my lord? If it was Prime Minister Cao Cheng's instructions, why did Prime Minister Cao Cheng stand still at the beginning of the war and missed the best opportunity to attack, if at that time, Prime Minister Cao Cheng's army marched north with all his strength to contain the adults, and the adults could win in Hebei again and again? Can you stick to Han Sui in Dong'e? ”

"This" Yuan Shao did have this doubt in his heart, and now that Yan Xiang said it, Yuan Shao's doubts were naturally hooked up again, and he couldn't help but believe half of it.

"Hmph, it's just clever words, Cao Cao didn't do it at the beginning because he wanted to sit and watch the tiger fight and consume Han Sui."

"Ziyuan's words are wrong, how can Han Sui be good? Prime Minister Cao Cheng needs to be so calculated! You see that now, Prime Minister Cao Cheng is just a few letters, and Han Sui's subordinates are falling apart and turning against each other, which shows that it is impossible for Han Sui to threaten Prime Minister Cao Cheng at all, so why should Prime Minister Cao Cheng guard against Han Sui everywhere? Moreover, if it weren't for Cao Cheng's deployment of Zheng Han Sui, I'm afraid that the Battle of Dongping would not have ended so far, right? ”

"Hmph, it's just a quibble."

"Now that everyone is looking at the merits, how can they quibble? Looking at all the responses of Prime Minister Cao Cheng afterwards, it was completely in response to Lord Yuan's military deployment, on the contrary, Prime Minister Cao Cheng himself resisted Liu Bei's onslaught on the Western Front, what is the benefit of a war on the two fronts against Prime Minister Cao Cheng? That being the case, why did Prime Minister Cao provoke the war in Yanzhou? ”

"This"

This time Xu You didn't have any words, of course he didn't know that the initiator of this war was actually Han Sui, Cao Cao was indeed passively participating in the war, although Cao Cao was optimistic at the beginning that he could swallow Han Sui smoothly, and then defeat the injured Yuan Shao, at least in the short term, he could rule across the river, and then concentrate his forces to attack Liu Bei in the first place.

Who would have thought that Cao Cao's wishful thinking was good in front of him, but in the end, he was crushed by the wonderful performance of the alien, Cao Cao is now stealing chickens and not eating a handful of rice, so he lightly brushed off the crime of instigating the war and threw it on Liu Bei's body, which can be regarded as a golden cicada out of the shell.

Yuan Shao thought about it, it seemed that what Yan Xiang said was also very reasonable, all kinds of strange and unreasonable places at that time, it was reasonable to say this.

"So what does this matter have to do with Liu Bei?"

"Of course there is, although the lower officials can't produce any evidence, but everyone knows, who benefits is the most suspicious, right?"

"Whoever benefits now also benefits from this official 1

"Lord Yuan benefits, that is because Lord Yuan uses people properly and soldiers use their lives, so he can defeat Han Sui in the case of a small loss, if Lord Yuan is a little poor, the war will be empty

ì long-lasting, or if Prime Minister Cao Cheng did not immediately discover Liu Bei's conspiracy, and let Han Sui continue to burn the war bigger and bigger, and the war will be delayed, may I ask, can adults benefit? Can Prime Minister Cao Cheng benefit again? So who benefits? ”

Yan Xiang's words were even praised, and Yuan Shao was proud in his heart, the words in the front were good, but the words in the back were misleading, the question is, who can eat the sugar coating every time, and then shoot the cannonball back!

"This is Liu Bei1

"Adult wisdom 1 Yan Xiang praised categorically, this conclusion was not said by Yan Xiang, but by Yuan Shao himself, Yan Xiang immediately bit this to death, and after this point was confirmed, the two sides had a basis for cooperation, and Yuan Shao was kidnapped to Cao Cao's camp.

Yan Xiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart again, in the midst of the crisis, Yan Xiang rode into the camp alone and took Yuan Shao in one fell swoop, and he couldn't help but feel a little proud in his heart.

Yan Xiang's sharp words and eloquence are of course very important, but more importantly, Cao Cao, Cao Cao selected Yan Xiang to come, from the beginning Yuan Shao's attention was biased, if Yuan Shao had a lot of energy, originally this very energy was on guard against Cao Cao, but the appearance of Yan Xiang made five points of this very energy turn to personal grievances.

At this time, Yan Xiang was clever in his words, constantly using various means to distract Yuan Shao's attention, and then the clouds and mountains were misty from Han Sui's side to reverse the cause and effect of the war, and finally succeeded in making Yuan Shao believe that it was Liu Bei who instigated Han Sui to raise troops, and then Han Sui kidnapped Cao Cao to participate in the war, and from beginning to end, Cao Cao was passively responding to the war, and the last fisherman benefited Liu Bei!

Now it's the final blow!

"My lord, the lower official still has a question, compared with Liu Bei, which one do you think is stronger or weaker?"

"This Liu Bei is slightly stronger1

In this way, if Prime Minister Cao Cheng is forced to a desperate situation where there is no way out, which side should he choose as a breakthrough? Presumably, adults don't need to talk too much! Prime Minister Cao Cheng is full of sincerity, since he fell for Liu Bei, he has to pay the price, and these three counties are the price of Prime Minister Cao. After the two sides concluded a settlement agreement, Prime Minister Cao Cheng would concentrate his forces against Liu Bei, and now Liu Bei is so powerful that if he is not careful, this fang may cause disaster to the world1

Yuan Shao was silent, frowning and thinking hard, Cao Cao's words were very clear, if Yuan Shao cooperated and was honest after eating the three counties, then Cao Cao would go all out to attack Liu Bei, otherwise, Cao Cao could only pinch Yuan Shao's soft persimmon first, and be willing to cut it all in, and solve Yuan Shao completely first.

Yan Xiang saw Yuan Shao hesitate, and smiled: "Lord Yuan, if you are willing to cooperate with Prime Minister Cao Cheng, then it is also a good choice for the two sides to jointly attack Liu Bei, now Prime Minister Cao Cheng's main force is in Chen County and Runan, and the focus in the future will be Jingzhou, and Lord Yuan can focus on attacking Yanzhou and Sili." ”

"The lord can't, if he goes back on his word, he will be rejected by the people of the world.1 The trial match will immediately speak out against it.

However, hearing the objection of the trial, Yan Xiang was not surprised, smiled slightly and did not speak, waiting for Yuan Shao's statement.

Xu Yu sighed secretly in his heart, this Yan Xiang is really sharp-toothed, and he used this trick to distract and advance three times and retreat one trick, when Yuan Shao was hesitating whether to accept the reconciliation, Yan Xiang proposed a military alliance, and although the trial was clearly opposed to the military alliance, it was tantamount to accepting the reconciliation by default, and Yuan Shao's heart would also be affected by the unconscious words of the trial.

However, Xu You thought about it, and it seemed that accepting reconciliation was not a bad thing, the key was whether he could digest the territory in his hands within the time when Cao Cao shifted his focus to the Western Front and fought to the death with Liu Bei, and then relaunched a new strategy according to the situation. In other words, it is to eat Cao Cao's bait, and then look back and bite Cao Cao fiercely.

With this idea, Xu Yu no longer objected to the proposal of reconciliation.

Xu You no longer has a clear opposition, so that the attitude of the ministers has undergone subtle changes, and the atmosphere in the hall has gradually changed in the direction of reconciliation, to be honest, Yuan Shao has been dazzled by this huge bait, and the only thing he is worried about is the risk, but now it seems that the risk is actually insignificant at all.

Yan Xiang carefully observed everyone, and the last bit of worry in his heart finally subsided, this little life was saved, and he could still make great contributions, but in front of Cao Cao in the future, he really had to clamp his tail!
